What does it mean if I do better on a song of a higher difficulty than from a song of a lower difficulty? I am comparing between PWRPFF RAVES (64) and Szerencsetlen (69). Is the difficulty level based on how a spread-style player would perform on it?

Yes, difficulty on FFR is scaled by the difficulty to AAA for a spread player. There are a very small selection of higher difficulty songs that lend themselves better to a one-handed or index playstyle.

I appear to need a global offset of -2 to properly sync the new songs on R^3. Can anyone confirm this? It's most noticeable on the first note of Phantom Of The Opera.

I've been saying since the end of the last official tournament that songs since the end of the tournament have needed a -2 global offset to be on-sync, and is only an issue within standalone and happens across all versions of standalone last I checked.
